I have had this SW-MOTECH center stand installed on my 06 Speed Triple for almost 2 years now. I have it installed along with the stock side stand. I appreciate how the center stand is not very noticeable, and the ground clearance has never given me any problems unless I have excessively low air pressure and run over a speed bump (its a low pressure warning system!). With the center stand, I have torn down the front end (strapping down the rear wheel) for fork oil changes, front tire replacement, brake work, etc. I have removed/replaced the rear tire, rear shock, etc. and it has gone incredibly easy because of the stand. I consider it a must have. (Posted on 11/26/13)

Installed this center stand over a year ago and it's been a life saver. I don't really notice it's there and it has helped me through tire changes, front end tear-downs (strapping down the rear tire (be safe!)), chain lubes, rear shock tuning and adjustment and the list goes on. Good clearance in turns and the only time I ever had it hit bottom was when I developed a persistent leak in my rear tire and the tire pressure was absurdly low (I clunked on a few speed bumps at low speed - no damage to the center stand at all). The stand is very well built and the double spring keeps it hugging the bottom of my swing arm. I highly recommend this product! (Posted on 9/7/13)
